“Less road congestion (shorter travel times), more pedestrian safety, non-discriminating transport” Everyone wants this for everyone to be happy! Living closer to work/shops and many (not all) single occupant cars switching to buses or pushbikes (separate safe active transport network or safe back street short cuts). More roads and urban sprawl did not work for Sydney and doesn’t anywhere else in the world. Active travel is world’s best practice for saving time, lives and healthy mental health! Frees up space for emergency vehicles, and people with disabled permits. The 2030 vision for City of Newcastle is for over 50% of trips by active transport (walk, cycle, bus, train).
